Hidden Pocket Clothing Line for Parents
Somewhat facetiously, my husband and I came up with an absolutely fantastic product idea, which we dubbed “Polly Pocket Pants.” Should you be of the entrepreneurial type and want to take this fabulous idea and run, you may want to call it something else, of course.
The Concept: Pants and shirts made for parents. The clothing has little hidden pockets sewn into it that you can hide your treats in and secretly graze on them throughout the day without your children noticing (and thereby eating your entire treat).
How the concept came about: It was 8pm. The oldest child had gone to bed but was not quite asleep yet. I wanted to snack on some Skittles that my husband had so kindly purchased for me hours before. I had not yet had any for fear that my kids would hear the bag rattle. What parent wants to establish such bad candy-eating habits in their children? Not this one. Anyway, so I got a handful of these Skittles out, got my newest book “The Girls’ Guide to Building a Million-Dollar Business” out, and settled onto the living room floor. I put the skittles into the leg of my jeans so they would be hidden should my oldest child decide to get up for any of the myriad things she suddenly decides she has to have at bedtime. My husband saw my little trick and thought it would be a riot if we sewed a pocket into our t-shirt sleeves so we could surreptitiously take little candies out during the day. You should have seen us pantomiming.
So there you have it: I am sure it is one of our best business ideas yet.
